Target Return. The target return stated above is an estimated net return target based on the historical outlook and past performance of TCM personnel.  The target returns are premised on a number of factors, including, without limitation, prior investments made by certain TCM managed funds and the opportunities that TCM personnel are currently seeing and/or expect to see in the future in the marketplace, which are inherently uncertain and are subject to numerous business, industry, market, regulatory, geo-political, competitive and financial risks that are outside of TCM’s control. There can be no assurance that the assumptions made in connection with the target returns will prove accurate, and actual results may differ materially, including the possibility that an Investor may lose some or all of any invested capital. The inclusion of the target returns herein should not be regarded as an indication that TCM or any of its representatives consider the target returns to be a reliable prediction of future events and the target returns and should not be relied upon as such. Neither TCM nor any of its representatives have made or make any representation to any person regarding the target returns and none of them intends to update or otherwise revise the target returns to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the target returns are later shown to be incorrect.
